Kaitlin Lawrence emerged from a field of 39 contestants Monday night to be crowned Fairest of the Fair.

Lawrence looked radiant in a floor-length, green dress highlighted with blue at the bottom. With a long stride, she was graceful gliding across the stage to wow the judges.

Melanie Rush was first runner-up, followed by Bliss Zechman as second runner-up, and Glenna Beaty as third runner-up. Autumn Hainey was named Miss Congeniality.
